I was wondering ruther offhandedly, does anyone have a FruSong they would say is not 1/2 as good on CD as in concert? I was listening to Ash Hash in VA Beach (they make frighteningly good stoners) and thinking that, while I liked Ash Hash a lot already, it was waaay better in concert! Of course this scenario allows for me to be 10 ft from the band, which leads into the second part of the subject: I'd say it's significantly better, being nearer to the band. It makes it a lot cooler. Instead of staring at Dave's feet the entire time, I could practically touch him, which of course I didn't (though he was making funny faces at me). But someone (my Mom? I dunno) brought up the fact that it might make them more uncomfortable, having the audience see everything they do and all. I vehelmently (sp) disagreed.. but what do I know? whaddaya think?

We weren't there, but the lads started with Half As Much, followed by YCBTC, and then YWGTTM. By this time, Donna, Vincent, Sara C. and I were approaching the Yonge & Egligton stage from the back, and we reached it in time to catch most of Boo Time. The setlist is as follows: Half As Much YCBTC YWGTTM Boo Time This had a number of new couplets; I actually started taping right before they got to the appropriate sections. Unfortunately, it still ended with "Smokin' a little boo." Whatever happened to localizing that line? :-) "Randy Teddy's daytime alias is Teddy Randy" The giant inflatable bear mascot of Shopper's Drug Mart was taken down right at the end of Boo Time, prompting Dave to sing an elegy consisting of a parody of "The Teddy Bear's Picnic". After that, all four guys got into a discussion of how the teddy must obviously be a superhero, Randy Teddy, who's alter ego was Teddy Randy. And nobody noticed the size differential when he was simply Teddy R. Michigan Militia Jian mentioned the new album ("coming out August 24 in Canada!" -- a bit of noise from the people who knew it was coming out on the tenth elsewhere), and then started discussing his hometown. "Is anyone here from Thornhill? (scattered applause) You poor people! Well, I mean, obviously you're not *poor*, but..." PTT Johnny Saucep'n Saucep'n seems to be hovering around 1:15 these days, live. What was the B Album time, around 1:26? After Saucep'n, Jian mentioned that they would be singing all of the Ricky Martin hits that made Fruvous so famous; Murray replied with "And the band has decided that I'll be doing all the dance moves." That led to some discussion of his removing his pants, per the song; Mike cut all of this off with "But it's blue skies today, so the pants will stay on. This next..." Jian: "Obviously you don't have any time for our Ricky Martin jokes" Mike: "I think it's obvious that I've had more than enough time for your Ricky Martin jokes" ...and a few exchanges later, Dave finally asked "Who's Ricky Martin, anyway?" (Jian's response: "An extremely cute bisexual man") I Will Hold On My Poor Generation River Valley The crowd was reacting well to all of the material up to this point, even the new stuff; however, River Valley sent a murmur through the gathering -- apparently there are still plenty of people in Toronto who only own Bargainville. Get In The Car Walking Spanish Apparently, it's a regular part of the set now. And it was *extremely* solid today. Dave was apparently too cool to use both hands for the keyboard solo, as one seemed to be sufficient ;-) E1: After the guys came out for the encore, they discussed how they were on the Inflatable Teddy Bear Tour, sponsored by Shopper's Drug Mart. The bear would be travelling with them; and since the bear needed to be *at* the shows, it might be difficult to get into some of the smaller venues. If you see the inflatable ear sticking out the door of the club, you simply know: "Cool. Fruvous." (At some point in here Dave interjected that he would be taking his shoes off and jumping on the bear; there wasn't too much continuity around the comment, tho :-) ) When Dave finally tried to steer the group back to the song they had come out to perform, he introduced it as being "not unrelated to the recent elections." Jian replied, "Nah, Dave, actually I think it has more to do with my personal relationships." Ummm... okay. Your New Boyfriend The show was probably about an hour long; from Boo Time to the announcer wrapping up the street fair was about forty minutes according to my MD :-) Impressions: Mike was in a hurry today. Might've been the festival set, or the fact that he was home, but he pushed to end every bit of discussion between songs. Of course, that led to some rather amusing segues ("the ravines of Thornhill", before PTT), and the whole second half of the Ricky Martin discussion. The guys were obviously really excited to be playing, probably because they were playing the new stuff in Toronto and getting a really warm response. And it might've been the time off at home :-) They were spot-on, and incredibly tight. It was a really energetic show, and the crowd fed off of it really well. After the show, Vincent remembered to ask Dave about the song he played at the Ark a few weeks ago for his solo opener. Assuming Dave wasn't lying, the song is "The Angels Rejoiced", and it's an old bluegrass number that Dave doesn't even know the origins of; he said he got it from a friend who had taped it off a radio show. So, all you bluegrass hounds, who was the original artist? :-) Katie, Murray was wearing the shirt you gave him for his birthday. Cool :-) One other exhange of note: As we were standing in the insanely long line at the only rest stop between State Line, PA and Buffalo, NY on 90 (y'know, the one on the median with the McD's and the Denny's with terrible service) an elderly woman was staring at me for about a minute. She then walked up and, politely but inquisitively, asked "Whereabouts in Ohio, Eddie?" It took me a minute to figure out, too. (Donna and Vincent co-wrote this review -- it's late, we're going to sleep now :-) ) -Joe ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 02:51:58 -0400 From: Joe Navratil Subject: Re: OT: Elvis (was Re: Thornhill Review) Ellen P.

Jian took the phone and said 'hi' to the guy, and then made the crowd all say 'hi' to him; and during (I think) ILMB they took turns passing the phone amongst themselves and singing into it. So not only are they good for letting people elsewhere know what's going on at the show, they're good for getting those people involved in the show, too!
